Medical equipment should never sit unused

Families near you are already sharing equipment

Four ways to share

Give, lend, or sell what you've outgrown, or request what you need.

Request

Looking for something specific? Post what you need. A neighbor may already have it.

Post a request

Donate

Pass along gear your family has outgrown. It'll find a second life with someone who needs it.

Give it forward

Sell

List equipment at a fair price. Every dollar stays between families. No marketplace fees.

How it works

Get connected in three steps.

As simple as asking a neighbor.

1

Find nearby by ZIP

Enter your ZIP and see what's within 5, 10, 25, or 50 miles. A walker two streets over beats a better one across the state. Filter by type and condition.

Search radius: 5 to 50 miles
2

Message in-app

Write to the other family through CareShare's built-in messaging. No phone numbers or emails change hands until you're ready. Ask about sizing, wear, or pickup times before you commit.

Every message is saved
3

Arrange a safe handoff

Pick a time and place that works for both families. Many choose a local library, hospital lobby, or community center. We share tips for safe, comfortable exchanges.

Safety tips included

Trust & safety

So safety comes first.

Medical equipment is personal. We designed every part of CareShare around the reality that families are sharing things their children depended on.

In-app messaging keeps a record

Every conversation lives in your CareShare inbox. If something feels off, a moderator can read the exact thread, word for word.

Your email stays private

We never share your contact info with other members. You decide if and when to exchange phone numbers, usually just to coordinate pickup.

Report from inside the thread

One tap flags a conversation for review. A person reads it alongside the messages it came from and can take a listing down.

Free to join, free to use

Your community is
waiting

Somewhere nearby, a family has equipment they no longer need, and another is waiting for it. CareShare helps them find each other.

No credit card, no fees. Your email is never shared.
